Chords:

  • G Major
  • E Minor
  • C Major

Basic Strumming Pattern:

For these types of songs, a common strumming pattern is a down-up pattern. Given the tempo and the chord changes, a typical strumming pattern might look like this:

Down (D) - Down-Up (D-U) - Up (U) - Down-Up (D-U)

Breakdown for Each Chord:

G Major:

  • Start by playing a down strum on the G chord.
  • Follow it with a down-up strum.
  • Then an up strum.
  • Finish with a down-up strum.

E Minor:

  • Same strumming pattern: D - D-U - U - D-U

C Major:

  • Strum C Major with the same pattern: D - D-U - U - D-U

A Minor:

  • Strum A Minor with the same pattern: D - D-U - U - D-U

D Major:

  • Strum D Major with the same pattern: D - D-U - U - D-U

Applying to the Riff and Walk Down:

For the specific riff and walk-down sections mentioned:

  • The initial riff focuses on single notes and partial chords, which might be plucked or strummed lightly, focusing on the root notes and the transitions between them.
  • The walk-down from C to A Minor involves transitioning smoothly between these chords, maintaining the rhythm.

Song Structure:

  • Intro/Opening Riff: Based on G major, incorporating single notes.
  • Verse: G, E Minor, C, A Minor, with the strumming pattern applied to each chord.
  • Chorus/Bridge: Might involve repeating the same chord progression with slight variations in the strumming or adding emphasis on certain beats.

Practice Tips:

  • Slow it Down: Start by practicing the strumming pattern slowly to get a feel for the rhythm.
  • Focus on Transitions: Pay attention to the transitions between chords, especially during the walk-down from C to A Minor.
  • Listen to the Song: If possible, listen to the song to get a sense of the rhythm and feel, matching your strumming to the song’s tempo and dynamics.
  • Use a Metronome: Practice with a metronome to keep a steady tempo.

By combining the strumming pattern with the chord changes described in the transcription, you can develop a feel for the song and play along with the lesson effectively.
